Brigitte Bardot: Inspiration

I am sure most of us are inspired by someone or something when it comes to Beauty and I can't help but feel inspired by a young Brigitte Bardot, the French born actress, singer and model has such a distinct look that is truly striking and beautiful. In Jean-Luc Godard's 'Le Mepris' she has the classic winged liner of the 50's and 60's, a look that is synonymous with the actress, along with her beehive hairstyle that looks incredibly sexy. As well as being absolutely gorgeous she was born and still lives in Paris so I basically want her life!

Vintage Crate

I love eBay, it is a brilliant way of saving money. I actually used eBay alot for all my wedding table and room decorations which saved us tons. So when it came to making a house a home what better place to shop than eBay! I have been looking for a vintage fruit crate for ages after seeing one in Luca’s mums kitchen filled with all her cookery books, I looked online and in shabby chic independent shops and they were going for ridiculous amounts (like £30!!!) I even went to local green grocers to try and get an un-used one, but I had no such luck.

So after spending half an hour or so going through the eBay listings I found the one! it was £12 for the crate including postage which is great as its pretty heavy! It is from 1960 and was used for fruit and veg. It came within a few days so I got to work on how best to use it. After looking for inspiration on Pinterest I found a picture of a crate being used as a bed side table! So after playing around with our bedroom layout and filling it with books it was ready! Doesn’t it look lovely……
